I found this very interesting Chinese bootleg of Pokemon Yellow, and at first I thought that this will be another crappy, maybe even unplayable game. But As I played it, I not only found working properly, but also quite engaging. The game's proper name is "Lei Dian Huang Bi Ka Qiu Chuan Shuo", and was created in 2005 by Shenzhen Nanjing Technology, a company producing nes bootlegs, most famous for producing the nes backbort of Final Fantasy VII, a fun, even if ridiculously hard game. But Aside from that most of their games are rather bad.
As for the game itself it has the basic storyline from Yellow, downgraded overworld graphics from Fire Red and Leaf Green, battle graphics and sprites from Gold and Silver, combined to create a simple animation, a side from the main characters backspite who in a downgraded version of Red sprite from FR/LG. The battle system Itself is interesting, it's mostly the one from Gen II games, with many TMs from Gen III. After battle we sometimes get some rare items like evolution stones, or TMs. We also get Bulbasur after beating Lt. Surge, and his trainer is in the Bicycle Shop. The game generally plays without bugs, and is very enjoyable. It's main flaws are some simplifications, like that Pikachu no longer goes around with you, the fact we cannot even enter the haunted levels of the Pokemon Tower before we get the Silph Scope. Another one is the fact the music isn't very good, and it's ripped instead from Ruby and Saphire. But in the end it's quite a great game, and I recommend to play it.
There is a Patch on Romhacking net that corrects the music to one from the original Pokemon Yellow, and partially translates the game by Lugia2009.
[EDIT] : Corrected some things.
Here are some screens:
